Scholarships for Graduate Schools

Scholarships granted to students with outstanding results in the entrance examination

Applicable after entrance

There are scholarships especially for international students from Waseda University (including Waseda University Partial Tuition-Waiver Scholarship for Privately Financed International Students and Azusa Ono Memorial Scholarship) and outside organization (about 100 scholarships).
However, the number of students receiving a scholarship is limited and thus it is not appropriate for you to make financial plans assuming you will get a scholarship. It is especially difficult to get a scholarship right after entrance, so you should be able to secure enough funding on your own at the time of application. For more details on scholarships applicable after entrance, please visit the Waseda University Center for International Education website.

Dormitories

All dormitories are comprised of students from variety of countries, creating an environment that is both Japanese and international.

All new incoming students enrolling in the International Program can live in a student dormitory, where international students can live and interact with Japanese students.
